ATTORNEYS Patented Sept. 28, 1937 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE ADJUSTABLEWINDOW SHADE ROLLER BRACKET 1 Claim.

This invention relates to window shade brackets or mountings and has forthe primary object the provision of an efficient and inexpensive deviceof this character which when secured to a window casement may beadjusted vertically, longitudinally and horizontally with respect tosaid window casement to permit a shade carried thereby to be properlylocated with respect to the window and the securing of the bracket andmounting to the Window casement without having to make specificmeasurements.

With these and other objects in View, this invention consists in certainnovel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts tobe hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

For a complete understanding of my invention, reference is to be had tothe following description and accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 isa fragmentary front elevation illustrating a shade roller supported by abracket or mounting constructed in accordance with my in- Vention.

Figure 2 is a fragmentary top plan view illustrating the same. I

Figure 3 is an end elevation illustrating the device. 7

Figure 4 is a fragmentary longitudinal sectional View showing the meansfor permitting the horizontal and longitudinal adjustment of the device.

Figure 5 is a plan view illustrating a reversible shade roller attachingplate.

Figure 6 is a fragmentary vertical sectional view showing the means forpermitting vertical adjustment of the shade roller.

Referring in detail to the drawing, the numeral I indicates av bracketor attaching plate including angularly related portions 2 and 3. Theportion 2 has openings to receive screws or like fasteners 4 formounting the bracket to a window casement or frame which positions theportion 3 horizontally. Said portion 3 is bifurcated, as shown at 5, toreceive a bolt 6. The

bolt 6 has a wing nut I threaded thereon. Thev bolt 6 is employed forsecuring to the portion 3 plates 8 and 9disposed on opposite sides ofsaid portion 3. The plate 8 has end lips or flanges l0 engageable withopposite sides of the portion 3 of the attaching plate I. The plate 9 isprovided with spaced grooves forming seats for an arm Ii. The arm llincludes angularly related portions 42 and E3. The portion I2 isreceived in the grooves while the portion !3 is received betweenclamping plates i i and E5. The clamping plates :4 and i5 are connectedby a bolt l6 having a wing nut I! threaded thereon. Integral with thehead of the bolt i6 is a 'plate I8 having a slot I9 and an opening 20permittingthis device to be adapted to either end of a window shaderoller 2E. The arm it may be adjusted horizontally and longitudinallywith respect to the portion 3 of the bracket or attaching plate I andthe bolt It may be adjusted vertically with respect to the portion l3 ofthe arm ll. adjustments permit, after the mounting of the bracket andthe connecting of the shade roller to the plate I8, the adjusting of theshade roller vertically, longitudinally and horizontally with respect tothe window frame or casement.

The arm I i is constructed of a single length of material bent uponitself to form the angularly related portions l2 and I3.

Having described the invention, I claim:

A window shade mounting comprising a bracket including an attachingportion and a supporting portion arranged at right angles to theattaching portion, an arm adjustably connected to the supporting portionand capable of being adjusted horizontally and longitudinally thereof,

These said arm including angularly related portions,

one of which being mounted on the supporting portion of the bracket andthe other portion being disposed vertically, clamping plates adjustableon the vertical portion of the arm, a bolt connecting the clampingplates, and a plate formed on said bolt and having an opening and a slotwhereby either end of the shade roller may be adapted thereto.
